## E-City: Let It Burn? Why Are We So Silent? 🔥😶
The sky in E-City is turning to lead 🌫️,
The blue is gone, and the black has spread.
Remember **April 1st**? The world saw the fire 🔥,
The smoke at **Doddathogur** rising higher and higher.
The viral videos, the **Ajmera** haze 😷,
Living our lives in a toxic daze.
Do we treat this land as a place to just stay? 🏢
Work our nine-to-five and then look away?
If this was the soil where our ancestors stood,
Would we protect it the way that we should?
Or is it just "office," a "park," or a "lane,"
Where we ignore the smoke and ignore the pain?
It’s the silent poison that makes our kids slow,
Plastic and rubber in a hellish glow 🚛.
The **Chief Minister** gave the order to act 📜,
The **Police Commissioner** stated the fact.
The **BBMP** chief said the fires must end 📢,
But on the ground, nothing changes, my friend.
We sit on our sofas, clicking a phone 📸,
Posting a photo while we’re safe and alone.
The officials just watch, or they look away 🙈,
While the garbage piles up, day after day.
But a viral post doesn’t clear the sky,
And a "like" or a "share" is just a digital sigh.
What if we stopped just standing aside? 🛑
And treated this city with hometown pride?
Could we take a day leave, just one single day 🗓️,
To clear 1 square meter and throw it away? 🧹
If a thousand hands cleaned a 1000 spots 🧤,
We’d stop the fires in the empty lots.
It’s time to stop watching the black air rise ⬆️,
And look at the world through our children's eyes.
Let’s heal the ground and the air that we share 🌍,
Because it **is** our home... if we actually care. 🙌✨
